Respectfully, the search engine is "allowed" to do what it wants to for its business purpose. In Ecosia's case, that is to prefer environmentally sound modes of travel, sites, or b…

That's exactly where we started. It worked or it didn't, right? The team was super curious to know, in fact, how many of the edge cases happened. That piece right there had some un…

In my experience (FWIW) there is value in archiving and preserving notes and other documents. Typically that value is realized when you actually go back to them. That's the hard pa…

My memory is a bit hazy but it's a good story. At one place, there was some important order processing taking place. As is fairly typical, couldn't rely on getting all the required…

I'm super interested in this. After a super brief Google search, I was unable to find Tavis's results. Could you kindly direct me to them?

I did a big survey of site stylesheets a while back and HSL use in practice is super, super low. I'll see if I can dig up that old spreadsheet. And that's the reason I love your su…

As far as I can tell, he wrote the full name one time. The word "patriot" only appears once as well. Just in case he used that for shorthand, eg "this patriot drive..." And, yes, s…
